Hi Sen,

The VSM is not able to connect to the vCenter through its management interface and hence you're getting these messages.

Some things to check:

- Is the VSM management interface reachable?

- Is the vCenter reachable?

Thanks,

Shankar

Thanks for reply shankar....

you mean the problem is in Nexus 1000v or Server Side?....

if you need any other logs please?...

Regards,

Sen

We can't say where the problem is just by looking at the message. It just means that the VSM is not able to connect to the vCenter through its management interface.

- Is the VSM's management interface (second NIC in the VM) behind the vSwitch or behind the Nexus 1000v?

- Are you able to reach (ping/SSH) the management IP address of the VSM?

     - If not, you need to see why this is not reachable.

- Are you able to connect to the vCenter using its IP address?

Thanks,

Shankar

If vcenter connectivity is fine, can you please post the output for :
n1000v# show vms internal event-history errors

Thanks Senthil. I want to take a look at your setup for both VSm configs and vcenter.

lets debug this offline.

Regards

Sonali

Thanks sonali.......

I need to know how to see this config from Nexus 1000v if you want any logs please let me know.....

Still we are getting same problem.

Thanks....

Regards,

Sen

Did you install VSM using the installer App or manual install?

Is the VSM registered with Vcenter server ? Vcenter Plugin will show if VSM is registered.

Can you please send "show svs connection" output, and logs of continuous ping from vsm to vcenter logs. we want to verify network connectivity is fine between VSM and vcenter.

What version of Nexus1k are you using;

In addition , verifying VSM and Vcenter connectivity section in following troubleshooting guide can help you fix the issue :
